Chapter 800: Chapter 181: Merlin’s Idol Chapter 800: Chapter 181: Merlin’s Idol “——Sir Helquinn?!”
“It is actually...”
“No wonder he’s wearing the armor of the Holy Nation’s guards...”
As Arthur’s voice faded, the murmurs of the knights became a clamor in the ears.
Aiwass felt his heart gradually settle down upon hearing these murmurs.
Without a doubt.
Whether it was these Knights of the Round Table, or Merlin...
if it was indeed the same person from history roleplaying, then they would undoubtedly recognize Aiwass.
But their somewhat naive reactions were telling Aiwass that these people all came from the simulation by the Lord of Scalefeather, and there wasn’t an actual “real deal” like Arthur who had suddenly entered.
...How strange.
...
The Path of Authority does not focus on solitary fighting, just as Arthur’s victory was due to the power of unity.
Since Arthur did not bring the Round Table Knights, it showed that he did not regard this matter as very important.@@@@
So why would Arthur suddenly participate in the fishing activity arranged by the Lord of Scalefeather...
Aiwass was puzzled for a moment.
But he was clear about another matter—interacting with these still young lads was far better than encountering those Angel Envoys.
Just dealing with Arthur was troublesome enough, Aiwass wasn’t entirely sure whether he should continue to roleplay as Helquinn, or maintain his respect and courtesy towards the Silver-Crowned Dragon while keeping his distance.
The situation was like playing a role-playing board game, and suddenly discovering that your boss is at the same table...
This made Aiwass instantly feel somewhat at a loss.
But dealing with the Silver-Crowned Dragon was actually the lesser issue, as He was sufficiently silent.
If Aiwass said or did something inappropriate, at least it wouldn’t spread so easily.
If there were other Angel Envoys present, though...
Based on the “Law of Conservation of Embarrassment,” when Aiwass was no longer embarrassed, Merlin, who had previously seemed inscrutable, now became the embarrassed one.
Merlin scratched the back of his head, then involuntarily glancing at the expressionless Arthur, he finally bit the bullet and stepped forward.
He respectfully and politely removed his mage’s hat, bowed deeply to Aiwass, and said in the most standard Elvish Language:
“...My apologies, Sir Helquinn.
I did not know it was you.”
Clearly, for these young knights from the Helasal Empire, intent on confronting the Giants, Sir Helquinn was absolutely worthy of respect.
“No matter.”
Aiwass nodded slightly and gently responded, “I actually don’t know...
why I have come here either.
“By the way, Mister Mage.
How should I address you?”
“I am Merlin.”
The young mage in blue robes initially gave his name, but then his expression turned serious as he said, “Although I am indeed a mage...
I would prefer if you called me a knight.”
“——You could be considered a knight?”
Just then, another sneering voice came through.
He did not use the Elvish Language, but spoke in a language similar to that of Star Antimony.
...It seemed that Star Antimony was the official language of the ancient Helasal Empire.
Have you finished reading the book I gave you?”
That dazzling and bright golden hair, as well as the calm and stern face, immediately made Aiwass think of the Great Guardian.
“I am a knight...”
Merlin whispered in defense as he took his companion sword from Gavin’s hand.
“...I know, brother Gavin,” said Mordred in a low voice, while elbowing Merlin, who then elbowed him back.
“Mordred!”
Gavin suddenly scolded in a stern voice.
Although Gavin only scolded Mordred, Merlin also became well-behaved along with him.
It was as if two children caught fighting by a teacher were being scolded in the office.
It was then that Aiwass realized...
these knights might be even younger than he had imagined.
“Don’t call me brother.
Under the king’s command, you should address me as Lord Gavin,” corrected Gavin earnestly.
“Don’t disgrace the king and our mother.”
“...King?”
Aiwass was a bit confused.
When he heard Merlin speak of “my king,” he thought he had heard it wrong or misunderstood.
Now it seemed...
the king really was King Arthur?
So, did Arthur ultimately pass the throne to Lancelot?
No wonder the founders and the royal family were on equal standing in the beginning...
As Aiwass spoke in a slightly inaccurate Imperial language, the knights who were previously joining in the commotion suddenly became a fluttering mess.
They clearly didn’t expect this Elf Hero summoned by King Arthur to speak the human tongue.
“What are you all so surprised about?”
Merlin, half proud and half admiring, pushed up his glasses and looked up to say, “Sir Helquinn, before he set off on his last journey, was the legendary ‘White Knight’!
He traveled through human nations, eliminated many acts of injustice, and mediated numerous wars!
The most famous of which was the retribution war in the Parthian Ancient Country after the second Water Source War!
“After the second Water Source War, the rebelling slaves were suppressed again.
And the Benevolent Lords planned a premeditated massacre to clear out the insurgents and slaves altogether.
To prevent the Holy Nation’s humanitarian intervention, the Benevolent Lords pretended to fight a war among themselves and then conscripted the failed insurrectionists from the second war and the slaves who had aided them, sending them to the frontline under this pretext so these former comrades would kill each other until everyone perished in war.
“Sir Helquinn, sensing the truth in the details, judged this to be a hypocritical and unjust war, so he and his followers directly raided several oases, broke through the opposing slave legions front-on, and slew several Benevolent Lords who had orchestrated the massacre.
His actions deterred the other lords and averted a meaningless and disastrous war!
“To this day, the ancient nation of Parthia is more lenient with their slaves.
It isn’t due to their defeat in the second Water Source War, but because of Sir Helquinn and the Holy Nation’s deterrence!
“Even now, many people carry the name ‘Ibn Helquinn,’ meaning ‘child of Helquinn.’ It is a token of gratitude and remembrance for Sir Helquinn, the man who stopped that war!”
Merlin praised Helquinn without reservation.
Aiwass watched his face, flushed with excitement, and couldn’t help but feel how different this was from the Merlin he knew...
...Was Sir Helquinn Merlin’s idol when he was young?
Aiwass suddenly realized.
